Baby Justice

My sister gave birth to a precious baby girl on Saturday. Justice weighed in at a tiny 6 pounds 6 ounces. Okay, that's probably average. Zuri was 9 pounds 2 ounces so she is tiny to me!  The hospital placed restrictions on visitors so Zuri wasn't able to go see Justice.  She was bummed about it.  We improvised and got a picture of Zuri and Justice together while she was in the hospital. ;)

Today, Brandii and Justice were released from the hospital so I took Zuri over to their house after dinner. Zuri was so excited to hold Justice!  She gave lots of kisses too. :)

Of course, there's always time for selfies with Papaw. Ha!

Santa Came!!!

Santa was very good to us this year. Zuri got a Barbie Malibu Mall (plus other items), Brent got a PS4, and I got diamond earrings. 

Papaw John, Aunt Julie, and Aunt Junie all came by Christmas morning. 

After playing with our toys for a little bit, Zuri and I went to Grandma Jan's.  New outfit courtesy of Aunt Julie. 

The day after Christmas, Zuri and I visited Sunny and Lili at the Surgery Center after they had their tonsils removed.  Zuri made them each a card. So cute!

Later in the day, our cousin, Steve, stopped by. He is home from California. Zuri took some time to warm up and then wouldn't leave us alone for pictures. LOL

We hope everyone else had a great couple days!!

Today, Mommy is at the hospital with Aunt Brandii. She was induced and we are waiting for baby Justice to arrive!  Zuri's upset she can't come because of the restrictions the hospital has in place (due to the flu). She did tell me to take a picture of Brandii holding Justice because "that will be a cute picture!"  Stay tuned!!!

Flippin' The Bird

Zuri was on my lap watching Peppa Pig. I looked down and see her unknowingly flippin' me the bird. I sent the picture to my dad and he reminded me that she did the same to him at 5 days old!  Haha!!

Gonzalez Family Annual Cookie Decorating Contest!

Today was our annual cookie decorating contest with the Gonzalez family. Zuri really got into it this year!  Shelby took her third win with Mariella following with her 2nd and 3rd place cookies. We always have a great time!

It's always intense!!  :)

Cutie. 

Zuri loved using sprinkles!!!  Every single cookie she decorated has a pinch of icing and a glob of sprinkles. 

We all made 1 cookie for Nana. Ralph Jr. was hesitant.  Check out his red mitten!  ;)

Cookies anyone?!

The kids and their entries for the contest. 

The adult entries. Everyone did a great job!

Zuri and Vance showing off their entries. 

First, second, and third place!  Like mother, like daughter. :)

The kiddos each received $1 for their prize.  It tooth Reece and Vance a minute to warm up to that idea. :)

Here is Mariella's 2nd place cookie. Isn't it awesome?!

Thanks to all who voted!  We really enjoy doing this every year. It's so much fun!!  I need to brush up on my skills though....the Schulz family hasn't won since 2008 when I won. :)
